Sundog Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 CDUniverse has always done right by me. Hope all you guys all get "pre" pre-order price. Me, I'm just venting a little for passing that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 This just in.... NEW YORK (Billboard) - After several delays, the six-CD boxed set "Miles Davis -- The Cellar Door Sessions 1970" will finally see the light of day. Recorded live at the height of Davis' full-flame electric funk period, post-"Bitches Brew," the Columbia/Legacy discs will hit stores on December 27. The set features an all-star lineup including Keith Jarrett on Rhodes and electric keyboards, guitarist John McLaughlin, saxophonist Gary Bartz, electric bassist Michael Henderson, drummer Jack DeJohnette and percussionist Airto Moreira. "When you think of who was in the band and how they were playing and reacting to Miles' extremely discreet and very ambiguous directions, it's just amazing," McLaughlin told Billboard earlier this year. "Keith was playing like a man possessed on two keyboards, and we all had wah-wah pedals." Bob Belden, who produced the previously unreleased compilation with Adam Holzman, says, "These guys had the idea of how rock and jazz worked together, and they got more of a focused sound out of their instruments than the rock guys. Miles was capturing Cream and Hendrix and extending it into improvisation in a powerful live setting. After this came fusion, most of which sounds childish in comparison." In related news, at Mo Pitkin's House of Satisfaction in New York, Davis aficionado Greg Masters hosts Miles Monday, a free, three-hour weekly listening session featuring his extensive collection of Davis' standard and bootleg recordings. "This is a chance for people to hear Miles' music, especially the electric stuff, that never gets played on the radio," Masters says. Reuters/Billboard Is this real? That article was posted on December 2, it mentions December 27 as the release date, but the title of the article is Davis' 'Cellar Door' Finally Due Next Month. Does that imply another (minor) delay? http://billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_di...t_id=1001613693 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownie Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Several sets of the Cellar Door release were on display today at my favorite record store. Imports all. Price was €95 ($115) a box I'll wait until I can get the box from Amazon.fr which still lists it at €62,19 (with a January 30, 2006 release date).

Rosco Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Ahead of the US release date? ... or have I missed something??! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Damn right!! I did say it was my favorite record store. They obviously manage to work some deals with US exporters. When the Thelonious Monk-Coltrane BN was released, they had a load of copy-controlled EU-made copies. I told the people in charge of the jazz section that I would wait for a non-copy controlled release. Later on the same day, I got a phone call from the store to announce that they managed to get three clean copies from the US. I told them to hold one copy for me. Rushed there and can now enjoy a non-controlled copy of the Monk/Trane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggie87 Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Out of curiousity, did you happen to notice whether these sets had the "added on" stickers that Wilburn was insisting on? I'm curious to see if that played out the way it was being described previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 There were a number of stickers (including a couple from the store highlighting this was a 'special offer') but I did not read the others carefully. The store is within walking distance from my place. I'll try to go and check tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
